Video: UK operators continue to support Kissimmee as hotels reopen
UK tour operators have reported few cancellations for summer 2020 to Kissimmee in Florida, with the majority of customers opting to postpone their trips instead.
DT Minich from Enjoy Kissimmee said many holidaymakers were moving their holidays to later this year or 2021.
"We are not seeing a ton of cancellations," he said.
Speaking to TravelMole’s Graham McKenzie, Minich said UK tour operators had remained strongly supportive of Kissimmee, with none indicating they would pull out or drop hotels due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Most of the city’s hotels have reopened, with new cleaning protocols in place, but some bars closed after Florida introduced a ban last Friday on alcohol sales to try to mitigate the rapid spread of coronavirus throughout the state.
